Sunderland AFC 2:1 FC Stade Rennes — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Trai Hume's second-half strike capped a 2-1 comeback as Sunderland beat Stade Rennais in this Club Friendly, the defender's goal proving decisive after Brian Brobbey had levelled the scores. The Black Cats trailed from the 32nd minute when Esteban Lepaul opened the scoring, but two unanswered goals turned the friendly on its head before the hour mark.

The turning point arrived on 61 minutes when Brobbey restored parity, and the momentum shifted decisively nine minutes later as Hume, marauding from the back, found the net to complete the turnaround. A late yellow card for Stade Rennais in the 87th minute did little to alter the flow, with the French side unable to muster a response after falling behind.

Possession was split at 50% apiece, and neither side earned a single corner, suggesting a tight contest that Sunderland won through sheer efficiency rather than dominance. Hume was the standout with a rating of 8.36 out of ten, his goal from defence proving the difference despite Stade Rennais being the nominal favourites. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Stade Rennais, but the result did not confirm that prediction, with the live signals failing to flag Sunderland's resurgence.
